That's a good start, but it is too vague. You need to design 
ahead so that you don't start on the release without having 
measurable goals and milestones. "c++ and gc" is not measurable.

You need to map out future releases and dependencies between 
features.

Then you need to evaluate what went "wrong" in the last release, 
and what was added to the last release, but not in the plan and 
why. The "Agenda" is loosing its authority as a plan if it is not 
evaluated. Without evaluation you can basically ignore it?
